Pros

Exciting assignments and diverse industries, lots of travel, work with some smart people. Specialized in turnarounds and restructurings only

Cons

Benefits package below average for industry. Business inefficient, mismanagement from top down. Can't manage their own business well. Employees encouraged to let businesses go into bankruptcy vs saving them to increase revenues to Alix Partners. Directors inflate billing hours, while cutting hours of lower level employees and contract personnel, but expected to throw in nonbillable hours. Lower level employees and contract employees treated with disrespect, long hours, pressured to provide nonbillable hours. Concentration of arrogant, condescending employees to newer hires and clients. More restructuring work than actual turnarounds being done. Many employees with accounting background who never owned or operated businesses, causing problems with completing turnarounds

Pros

AlixPartners is full of very smart and talented people. This means that every given day I'm learning something new, whatever is the engagement. The work is really interesting, working together with the client to solve their worst problems. In my experience the overall work/life balance is very good, much better than in other consulting companies I've been working in the last 10 years. One plus of this company is that it's one global company, without tight split between businesses and geographies.

Cons

Sometime the work pace gets a bit stressful, but this is typical for the strategy consulting. This work is not for everyone.
